Flood warnings in effect; high winds expected

SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) — Flood warnings are in effect in parts of Pennsylvania as rain and high winds sweep across the state.

In northeastern Pennsylvania, residents were keeping a close eye on the Susquehanna River. But WNEP-TV reports it was still well below flood stage after a night of rain.

Flood warnings are in effect in other parts of the state Thursday morning, as some areas are seeing localized flooding. The National Weather Service says high winds are also expected in many areas throughout the day.

On Wednesday in western Pennsylvania, state police say high winds toppled a parked police helicopter at the Arnold Palmer Regional Airport in Latrobe.
